Isn’t Trump going to Washington tomorrow? Might be interesting day if he is going to Washington.

Any delegate that does not vote as their state has decided, had better just walk out into lake Erie and see if they can hold their breaths until they get to Canada.

Cruz would be a damn fool to take the nomination after a coup at the convention. If he thinks Trump is a loser against Hillary, the smart play is to man up, endorse Trump and not piss off his supporters, and run again in 2020. Cruz would finish in 3rd place after Trump makes a bid as an independent instantly creating the “America First” party. It would completely shatter the GOP into irrelevance.

The sad part is, the GOPe is willing to use the Mutually Assured Self Destruction to be rid of Trump and give it to Hillary, in order to maintain the status quo. If they get Trump out, who do they nominate? no one with the gravitas to overcome the anger, etc. It would have to be a throw away candidate or someone at the end of their career who is promised a parachute after the failed bid. (not Ryan, he wants to run in the future). So? A “political suicide bomber” could take out the entire convention nomination process.

This will be about as effective as the Democrats sit-in on Capitol Hill. Personally, anyone not supporting Trump should be disinvited. Starting with any known Cruz supporters.

Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 717). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Every time Donald Trump says, “I love you!” to a crowd, I am reminded when Jesus said:
John 13
34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1047). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

He is holding off to use it to get a speaking spot at the convention. He will endorse, and he will speak. Fair trade.

They could nominate Carly Fiorina she has nothing to lose and very little to gain and she did it once already for Cruz.

If this even gets close to happening, it would be the end of 160 years of the Republican party. By the next election cycle, it would be replaced. And if the No-Trumpers do succeed, they should nominate Mark Kirk. He could be the poster-child for useless Republicans. That way Paul Ryan could run in 4 years, with the same support level as Gary Johnson.

Remember the outcry when News Corp bought the WSJ - everyone thought they were going to ruin it by taking it to “far right”!! Now they are just shilling for the nevertrumpers and by extension the lying criminal and her rapist husband.

No thanks WSJ! Take your paywall and shove off!

I’d like to see Cruz hold a rally of his supporters. Maybe he could fill a high school auditorium.

Looks like I must put up my WARNING again. Maybe I’ll need to start posting this DAILY.

Why post this drivel? There is zero chance Trump will not be nominated at the convention.
